I did a little research trying to see if there was anything out there. I couldn't find anything. But i did find a great article that may help you a little

I'll make you a deal if you start this project i will be happy to donate a few hundred dollars to help you get it started.

I will try to talk with one of my chassis fab guy that build track cars & drag cars and see if he has any advise.

Thanks for the links, it makes me realize that it is possible.
And wow I'm flabbergasted, Marty.
I am going to check around and see if anyone local does this kind of fabrication too.

I'm going to talk to his dad, this week, and see what he says. I know that he has a surgery scheduled to relieve some muscle issues, in his legs, pretty soon. Once I have the approval and timing, from that point I can sort of get things rolling along.

These were a couple pics I found, from this summer





It's going to be a challenge to try and keep this as a surprise.

I guess I am thinking back to when I was very young, and got a ride in my late uncle's red Super Bee, with the Hurst shifter. It was so cool! I hope that he might find it just as much fun.
